Definitions:
~ Inertia at rest – inertia depends on mass. The larger the
Force – a push or pull of an object, SI unit = Newton (N). object, the larger the inertia.
Net force – is capable of changing the state of motion of the ~ Inertia in motion – inertia depends on the object’s
object. momentum. The greater the momentum of an object, the
harder it is to stop moving.
Mass – originally called a quantity of matter, but later
redefined as a measure of inertia. ~~~
Acceleration – rate of change in velocity, SI unit = meters per Laws of Motion
second squared (m/s^2).
Law of Inertia - states that, an object at rest remains at rest,
Friction – force that is acting upon an object as it passed and an object in motion remains in motion. From this idea, it

massive object does.
Balanced Forces – has zero net force; thus, it has no Law of Acceleration - states that the acceleration of an object
acceleration. is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and is
Unbalanced Forces – has a non-zero net force; thus it inversely proportional to the object’s mass. We can state

X acceleration.
Inertia – the tendency of an object to resist change in motion. Law of Interaction - states that “for every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction.” A force exerted on any object is
always exerted back by an equal magnitude of force but in
opposite direction. In this law, forces always come in pairs;
Formulas:
these are called action and reaction forces.
